10.1039/a709140k

The research focuses on the synthesis of a novel monosubstituted ferrocene-based chiral Schiff's base derivative, which exhibits unusual mesomorphic behavior. This compound is the first metallomesogen to display twist-grain boundary phases (TGBA) and blue phases, in addition to the more common smectic C* (SC*), smectic A (SA), and nematic (N*) phase transformations. The purpose of this study was to explore the potential of chiral metallomesogens in liquid crystal research, particularly those incorporating ferrocene units, which could lead to materials with high thermal stability and unique electronic properties. The researchers synthesized the chiral Schiff's base derivative using a series of chemical reactions involving compounds such as AlCl3, BuNH2?BH3, p-HOC6H4CO2Me, KOH HCl, p-HOC6H4NO2, DCC, and Pd(10%)C. The final compound, named compound 8, was obtained by refluxing equimolar amounts of intermediates 6 and 7 in ethanol containing a few drops of acetic acid, followed by filtration and reprecipitation. The study concluded that this ferrocene derivative and its analogs could be promising candidates for the development of ferroelectric smectic C* materials, which have potential applications in fast-switching electro-optic devices.
